Austin Peay has come from the #8 seed to shock the OVC and is one win away from getting to the NCAA Tournament. Tennessee-Martin is the #2 seed and looked good against Morehead State in their last game. Austin Peay has the higher scoring offense, while Tennessee-Martin has the better defense. This should be a good game but I am going with Tennessee-Martin to win.
